2020: a dest odyssey

He's not watching paint dry, per se. He's effectively doing what I used to do, which is watch your position over a longer term than a day-trade. That is watching paint dry. But he's doing it hedged. At least he has options, man.

Definitely, he’s really good at this and it must take more than just a random pick of stocks and options, while hedging seems another level.
So I didn’t mean to take anything away. It’s just an observation that while everyone else trades themselves out of the game, it’s possible to “trade” totally differently. I bet not many people realize this and try to trade more than they should, even those collecting premiums.

I am trading (at work) a large double digital or DNT this week or next on index. Not relation to my IRA as it’s OTC but I’ll post the payoff.

Well no bragging but you’ve already lost that race.

I dislike this post. (Because LaGuardia is the worst airport in the USA, ever)

Flat pos. I am going to use the platform PNL for 2020 although it differs a couple hundred from the 2019 closing figure.

Opening 2020 figure: 97,526.02
Jan 2 PNL: +422.48

NetLiq: $97,948.5

I am short a few index deltas into the close. Up a bit on marks.
